“Never believe that a few
caring people can’t change the world. For, indeed, that’s all who ever have.” -Margaret
Mead
PlayGround is excited to
announce the topic for our first Monday Night PlayGround “Social Justice Night”,
this year focused on “Care”! As the debate heats up around the possible repeal
of the Affordable Care Act and societal divisions seem ever more pronounced,
PlayGround writers explore the broader subject of “Care” in the context of
social justice. PlayGround playwrights had four-and-a-half days to generate
original short plays inspired by the topic and the top six short works will be
presented as script-in-hand staged readings on Monday, February 20 at Berkeley
Rep. For tickets and discount flex passes, visit http://playground-sf.org/monday.
Each month, PlayGround announces
a topic to the thirty-six playwrights in the PlayGround Writers Pool and the
writers have four-and-a-half days to generate original ten-minute scripts
inspired by the topic. Recent topics have included: “We Hold These Truths to be
Self-Evident,” “Going Viral,” and “Awakening to the Dream of the Earth” as part
of a now-three-year collaboration with Planet Earth Arts and Stanford
University. The top six plays from each month are rehearsed for just
one-and-a-half hours each and presented as script-in-hand staged readings at
Monday Night PlayGround, now celebrating its twenty-third year. PlayGround
audiences get to enjoy a unique behind-the-scenes perspective, with a free
Pre-Performance Discussion at 7:10pm.
Audience members can also experience the thrill of being a producer
through the monthly People’s Choice Awards, helping to determine which plays
and playwrights go on for consideration in PlayGround’s annual showcase, the
Best of PlayGround Festival.
PlayGround, the Bay Area’s
leading playwright incubator, provides unique development opportunities for the
Bay Area’s best new playwrights, including the monthly Monday Night PlayGround
staged reading series, annual PlayGround Festival of New Works, full-length
play commissions and support for the production of new plays by local
playwrights through the New Play Production Fund. To date, PlayGround has
supported over 200 local playwrights in the development and staging of more
than 800 original short plays and 71 new full-length plays, with 8 more
commissions currently in development. PlayGround also operates Potrero Stage
(formerly Thick House), a black box theatre in San Francisco’s Potrero Hill
neighborhood, recently renovated and re-opened earlier this month. For more
